Hi I have been totally disabled since 2007 I cannot work it sucks.. I have worked my whole life but now I can hardly walk.. I have had 8 operations at the va
hospital..I am a bit behind on child support becaue the va only gave me 10% can they garnish my va chek it is only 123 bucks for child support.

Well, that's not exactly so. In cases of child support, the VA will honor a courts order and in any event, even in spousal support situations
a court can order the veteran to pay a specific amount .AND. have the sheriff seize his assets if he fails to comply. If there are no assets to be had, the
veteran can be placed in the hoosegow for contempt. Once the assets are in the veterans custody, the court can do what it will.

I live with my son on the $123 from the va and 208 from a pension ..my ex has a lawyer I can't afford one they want more than I actully get..this goes back
two years when i got hurt and could not work anyomre my son is 20 and on his on and takes care of me

If I read this correctly ( and it was a tough read) you are living off of your son who is 20 y/o. If this is the case you have a good family support.

Go to the county clerk and ask about representation for those who can not afford one. This is a civil case but seeing as you are indigent you should have
representation. Never go through a divorce pro se. If you get good representation the tables should easily be turned against your ex and she could face paying
you child support and alimony. Depending on the length of marriage this can be anywhere one one half the length of the marriage to the rest of your life if it
was more than 20 years.

Also if you have not worked since 2007 you should file for SSDI. See the SSDI forum for more information regarding this. If you are lucky your SSDI award
won't come in until after the divorce is final. Edit: There has been a long discussion on this board about claims towards a veterans disability income.
Long story short, court can not put an order on it but the court can (and most likely will if they feel like it) count it towards income therefore, in effect,
making a claim against it.

For all those smart guys out there that think their SSI, SSDI and VA compensation are protected, here's a link to Calvin Murphy's whine. He just got
released after spending 90 days courtesy of the taxpayers. http://jerebeery.com/press%20release%2040.htm Jere Beery's story is out there somewhere after he spent
time in the pogyhouse. He too paid up as ordered.
